They've released a video showing space flight in action:

Obviously there is still a lot of information missing that we won't know before release, but I had a thought, and a question for people with more detailed understanding of Mudlet's internal workings.
The ascii rendition of space doesn't display the 'rooms'. Instead, the existence of an endless grid of rooms is implied, and only the boundaries (planets, stars etc) are displayed. This is the inverse to how maps are usually displayed by the mapper, which shows the rooms and links, and the 'boundaries' are just anywhere there is no room.
Despite that, the map window is capable of displaying images, in a way that a miniconsole is not. (It's not, right?)
Is it feasible to create mudlet functions that would allow us to write scripts that parse the ascii rendition of space, and display it in the map window with images of planets etc in place of the ascii art?
